You would have to modify the nmode.c or sff2.c files in
$AMBERHOME/AmberTools/src/sff; we don't have any current options to dump the
Hessian to disk. (At least that I remember: maybe someone on the list has
done this.)

Again, you would have to modify the underlying code.

You should have a gradient vector with an RMS magnitude of less than 10^-8.
Going lower than this is unlikely to have any noticeable effect on the
frequencies. Depending on the size of your system, you may need to run lots
of conjugate gradient steps (thousands) before turning on Newton Raphson.
Hard to give much advice without more information, but we routinely minimize
100-residue proteins (no water) to these tolerances.
